Juwan Howard has been promoted from player development coach to assistant coach with the Miami Heat.

The Heat demoted assistant coaches Ron Rothstein and Bob McAdoo to make room for Howard on the bench. Juwan was part of Miami's 2012 championship team, and was the only member of the Fab Five to win a championship (although he was more of a locker room presence than a contributor to the stat sheet when they won). Howard had a long and successful NBA career, and now he will embark on the path of coaching. Mon, Sep 1, 2014 11:18:00 AM

He has 19 years of experience in the NBA, which will obviously help him instruct the younger players in the league. Howard finished last season with the Heat, playing in just 51 minutes over the entire season. He had a nice career and it would appear the University of Michigan's Fab Five run in the NBA is over.

Depth Charts

Despite the Heat moving both Shabazz Napier and Zoran Dragic within the last week, Miami is looking to push its tax bill even lower with a Chalmers departure. Even if he remains around throughout the offseason, it's clear that Rio's future with the organization won't be for the long haul.

The Heat will pick up Tyler Johnson's contract, according to Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel.

The writing was on the wall with the trade of Shabazz Napier to Orlando. Johnson is being groomed more as a point guard and he's currently sitting on the No. 3 spot on the depth chart, but that could change if Mario Chalmers is dealt.

The artist formerly known as Bill Walker started in 13 of his 24 games with the Heat in 2014-15, averaging 7.3 points, 3.4 boards and 1.2 assists. Walker had an ankle injury keep him out of summer league and is now a free agent.

Chris Bosh (lung) estimated that he's at around 90 percent during a recent interview.

"It’s a little bit tougher getting back on that horse if you haven’t played in a while," Bosh said. "It’s good to get it out now as opposed to later. I feel good. My shot feels good. The conditioning is coming along. As far as my feel on the court is concerned, it’s good. I just want that full (lung) capacity." Bosh also said that the time spent on the sidelines this past season reignited his passion for the game. He'll be worth a mid-round selection on draft day.

The Heat are not shopping Josh McRoberts or Chris Andersen on the trade market.

Miami is going to need both behind Chris Bosh and Hassan Whiteside this season and neither should be moved unless another team overwhelms Pat Riley. Considering the subjects we're discussing, that's very unlikely.
